Nintendo's Switch 2 eShop charts for the week of August 23, 2026 are now public, and the rankings offer a clear view of pre-launch momentum and established catalog strength on Nintendo's latest hardware.
The weekly lists — split into All Games and Download-Only Games — show a mix of long-running blockbusters, remasters, and new releases attracting attention on the Nintendo Switch 2 eShop.
Notably, Elden Ring claimed the No.1 spot on the All Games chart after pre-loads went live on the eShop.
In journalistic terms: despite not yet being playable on the platform, pre-load availability generated enough demand to propel Elden Ring to the top position.
The FromSoftware-developed title's early chart performance underscores how pre-orders and pre-loads can influence digital rankings ahead of a release window.
Konami's Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 also registered strong pre-launch interest, sitting at No.6 on the All Games list as pre-loads began for the title ahead of its upcoming launch.
Bohemia Interactive's DayZ appears among the new-release performers at No.7, while indie newcomer Starsand Island debuted on the All Games chart at No.18.
